Two particles, each of mass m, are connected by a light string of length 2L, as shown in Fig. A steady force is applied at the midpoint of the string (x = 0) at a right angle to the initial position of the string. Show that the acceleration of each mass in the direction at 90° to is given by in which x is the perpendicular distance of one of the particles from the line of action of . Discuss the situation when x = L.
